Cavalleri Franciacorta DOCG Brut Blanc de Blancs NV

Brescia, Lombardy, ItalyThe Cavalleri family have been landowners in Erbusco since 1450, and began this winery in 1905. This chardonnay has approximately 20 percent reserve wines and 10 percent fermentation in oak (large casks and older barriques) providing a comforting bolster of lees to this finessed, elegant fizz. White flowers, yellow apple, subtle hazelnut and stone lead the medium-bodied palate, lifted with pithy, chiselled acidity.Tasted: 15 February 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
